For Chicken Casserole:
6 chicken breasts
{boneless/skinless}
1 large yellow onion(chopped)
3 cans chopped green chile's
12oz. sour cream
1 can cream of onion soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
8 cups coarsely shredded colby/jack cheese
20 taco size flour tortilla's
Large casserole dish or deep iron skillet

Steps:

Make Casserole: Boil chicken breasts in large pot for 30-45min or until cooked through. While chicken is boiling, combine chicken & onion soups, sour cream, green chile's, and chopped onion in a large mixing bowl. Stir together until nicely mixed. Set aside. Stack tortillas on cutting board and cut as if it were a pizza.[you should have made 8 triangle pieces.]Set aside. Pour chicken and water through a strainer and run cold water over chicken so it may cool. When cool hand shred chicken and add to soup/sourcream mixture. Using a ladel or large spoon, place enough of this mixture on the bottom of dish to keep casserole from sticking. then make a layer of the cut up tortillas. On top of the tortillas place about 1/4 of the soup/chicken mixture and then cover with cheese. Repeat this process starting with another layer of tortillas until dish is full. Top final layer of soup generously with cheese. Cover dish(s) with tin foil and bake at 350' for 45min to 1hr. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I always need more than one dish and end up with 2 casseroles.
